Both Intel and AMD have new chips coming out for laptops.  As usual, the AMD chips support much better graphics....

Intel article:

The AMD chips:

On a side note Nvidia has announced their 1650 series of cards with only 4gb of memory and grossly overestimated the speed increase as usual.  Benchmarks I have seen only show about a 15-20% increase in speed.  I would still buy an AMD card with 8gb  of memory at that price point.

    As compared to what?  I can assure you that it's an enormous improvement over Intel GMA 945.

    Sorry I was referring to the previous 1050 as a comparison as I think Nvidia was.  The AMD cards at the same price point are better in my mind.

    According to first reviews the speed increase compared to GTX 1050 is a lot larger than just 15-20%.

    But GTX 1650 is still a shit product because RX 570 is bit faster and a bit cheaper than GTX 1650. At the moment the only reason to buy GTX 1650 at current prices is if need a power efficient GPU (some GTX 1650 models only need 75W compared to 150W or RX 570), but as long as power draw isn't that important RX 570 is better product.

    The 1650 sounds like a product that is priced to intentionally not sell. It's probably geared at OEMs to put into crappy mass produced products so they can say "nVidia Graphics! Gaming Rig!"

    And, sure, if someone wanted to buy one from a AIB, they could, but they are going to pay that premium. They do have a niche in SFF since they don't require a 6/8pin power cable.
